` sPEETssHEET7 forwardly under a second feed roller rlhe feedlrollers 58"-59 are mounted. in arms (50 pivoted at (30 and at or near their ends bear against rings (31 at respective ends of the cylinder 23. The feed rollers are yield ingly pressed toward the cylinder by means of spring-pressedrods G2 connected with the pivoted arms (3() and said feed rollers ere positively driven by means of suitable gearing;l G3 as shown in Fig. 5.

The paper section is delivered by the *leed rollers to suitably disposed feeding tapes which deliver it between rollers elmt to the stalling mechanism' presenti;y to be de-` scribed. rPhe roller (34 is positively driven by means of suitable gearing' and is carried by a pivoted arm (Sli with which a rod t3? is connected. This rod passes through a boss (38 and between this boss and an ajnstable mit '(39, a spring T0 is located. By means oic these devices the throat '71 formed between the rollers (lland the pressure of the rollers against the paper can be ad justed.

Below the irst and second feedingA meclianism. opening and stalling mechanism lor paper sections is located. but as this mecha- A nisni constitutes the snbj-ect-iiiatter of the invention claimed in another application for patent ield by me on even date herewith y and designated by Ser. No. 5787133. a detail description herein is unnecessary. i

rl`hree feeding mechanisms are shown in Fig. l of the drawings, and they are all the saine in construction and operation; Fig, l ol the drawing also showsl two opening' and startling mechanisms. which are the same in construction and operation. and they may, for convenience. be designated bv the reierence characters` and ll. rlhe magaiiine is intended to contain outer paper sections and the maga'liines 3 and l are to contain inserts The first or bottom outer paper section from the magazine V:2 will be fed downwardlj,7 and will be guided by snivahl'v arranged feed belts as shown in Fig. l. to the first throat 7l and from the latter Ito the openingF and Shilling mechanism gli. where it will be opened as before explained for the reception ol' inserts"`. These `finvserts will be guided by snitabl)7 arranged belts as shown 'in Fig. l, from the feeding mechanism under the mafazines 5l and -l to the throat 7l over the stalling mechanism and dropped (side by side) between the members ol the opened or spread paper section therein. atterwvliich the whole will be discharfred thronfrh the chiite H. The nestl outer paper section ted from the first maga-- Zine will follow the route of the preceding one. until it reaches the throat 71. At this point, the said second outer paper section from the magazine-2 will be diverted by means of a switch loo, and will he conveyed in Fig. l and deposited into 'the opening and stniling mechanism ll. The next two inserts 'from the magazines il and lwill also he diverted bv a switch 15G ano cansed to drop (side by side) between the opened. or spread member of the outer paper section in trie opening and stniing mechanism The witch 155 is provided with arm lo? and this ar n connected with one arm hell crani; "15S, The other arno of the crank provided with a roller E59 'ch cooperates with earn HS() on the oder Q8 oli the first feeding; mechanism. it will be observed toet f the cylinder oi each leerling rnechanisn. is constructed .'ith tvfoenlargements 2'? which are disposed rliarnet rically opposite each other, and that during a complete rotation or the cvlinder, two pa per sections will he withdrawn from the, superimposed magazine and delivered to the feeding tapes. The cam lo() on the cylinder is therefore so shaped that the switch 55 will he operated in a manner to direct one the paper sections ted during one rotation of the c ikinder to the opening and stnliing inecl ajn'ism A. and so that said switch will direct the other paper section ted 'forward daring' the saine rotation of the cvlinder. to the opening and stelling mechanism il. "il ander of; the second 'feeding mechanism is also providedwith a cam which actnatcs a heli crank lill (Fig. l) connected with the switch loll for operating the latter to direct the inserts" alternately into the opening and stelling mechanisms and il.
